(1)You need a new family doctor.
Pam Hansen is sixty-eight years old, and has been a doctor for over forty years. She doesn't take many patients these days, so she has plenty of time. She's very kind and interested in her patients, but her methods are a bit of old-fashioned.
Matt Gregorio is twenty-nine years old. He hasn't been a doctor for long, but he's very well qualified and knows all about the latest methods. He's sympathetic, but very busy because he has lots of patients.

(2)You need a driving instructor.
Jim Burrows has been teaching people how to drive for about ten years, and two of your friends passed their driving test the first time with him. But they say he's not very patient when you make mistakes.
Angela Dunn hasn't been working as a driving instructor for long, but a friend has recommended her because she is bery patient and sympathetic, especially if you are nervous. She charges more than Jim.

(3)You need a babysitter three afternoons a week for your children aged one and seven.
Florence is a twenty-year-old student. She has no experience of working with children, but she has five younger brothers and sisters, who she often looks after. She's kind, good fun, and seems reliable.
Celia is about fifty-five years old, and has been working with children all her adult life. She's kind but seems strict, and has her own way of doing things.

自分らの課題は2番のdriving instructor を選ぶ所で、strict は、安全運転のために必要だってことで、Jim Burrows を選んだ。
もっと考えて、表現したかったなぁ。
Jim は確かに He made two of friends passed their driving test the first time. ちゅーのはとても魅力的だとは思うけど、うーん、難しいね。。。

McDonald's

---

I had nothing to do on that day,so I went to McDonald's for studying...Why McDonald's? Because a cup of coffee is 120yen, and another cup of coffee is free. And I have already signed up for public wireless LAN service provided by Yahoo!Japan.
That's why I can connect with internet at McDonald's...
